Daily automatic weather station (AWS) data from Climoor fieldsite in Clocaenog Forest 2022-2023

This dataset holds daily data from one automated weather station (AWS) located at the Climoor field site in Clocaenog forest, North East Wales. The data are on relative humidity (percent), air temperature (degrees Celsius), rainfall (millimetres), air pressure (millibars), net radiation (millivolts), solar radiation (kilowatts per square metre per second), photosynthetic active radiation (PAR; micromol per square metre per second), wind speed (metres per second) and wind direction (degrees). The data is an extension for the AWS datasets 1999-2015, 2015-2016 and 2016-2021 covering the time period January 2022 to December 2023. Data are logged in minute intervals, averaged to half-hourly. The data are sent from the field site to a UKCEH server. A working copy is created, quality assurance checks carried out and daily averages calculated from half-hourly records. Data which were not recorded are marked with “NA”, faulty data were replaced by “-9999”. Note, the rainfall sensor was broken during this time period, but the column is kept in the datafile for consistency with previous data records. Data collection, processing and quality checking was carried out by members of UKCEH staff. The Climoor field experiment intends to answer questions regarding the effects of warming and drought on ecosystem processes. The reported data are collected to monitor site specific environmental conditions and their development over time. These data are important to interpret results that are collected from the climate change manipulations imposed in the field.

Statement
Data were recorded every minute, then automatically averaged to half-hourly data by the data-logger. The half-hourly data were transferred from loggers at the field site onto UKCEH Bangor servers via remote telemetry. Each morning, the previous day’s data was transferred to the server. Data were then averaged to daily values. An automated script transferred the data into the project shared area of the shared network drive. Data quality checking was performed at the end of each calendar year. Telemetered data were processed using R. Data were averaged to daily values and inspected visually. Erroneous values were removed taken into account the annual cycle. A .csv file was produced from the quality assessed data. The following measures were taken with sensors from Campbell Scientific: relative humidity and air temperature are recorded with an HMP45C sensor. Rainfall sums are measured with an ARG100 Tipping bucket, air pressure is measured with a CS100 Barometer and net radiation is measured with an NR-Lites sensor. Further, Solar radiation and PAR are measured using a Skye SP1110 pyranometer and a SKP215 quantum sensor from Skye Instruments. Wind direction and speed are recorded using a windsonic 2D Ultrasonic Anemometer from Windsonic.
